Chapter 22: The profiteer on the train(1/2)
This time it's not based on intuition.
But... that apple.
These days, fruits are rare materials, unless they are available locally, otherwise they are not common under the planned economy.
The middle-aged man looked pretty. When he opened his cloth bag, there were not many bags. Each bag was sealed tightly, except for the top apple that was red.
When you go out, you won’t just bring an apple, and you’ll be able to be exchanged so easily.
Chu He looked at his simple bag of luggage and probably had a guess in his mind.
These days, the role of the black market is very different, but due to the inadequate restrictions on the economy and transportation and policies of the times, many materials cannot be mobilized from the north to the south.
For example, Shi Suifeng once talked about the black market in the city where they were.
Although you can buy rice, flour, grain and oil in daily life, not everyone can have a source of goods.
The man in front of him was so natural and his movements were so skillful. Chu He looked into his bag and asked tentatively: "Do you have something you don't want to vote?"
...
She asked for it for granted. The middle-aged man was stunned for a while. Then he looked left and right, holding back the questions in his heart and whispered to his lips, and then whispered:
"What do you want?"
Chu He: Yohe.
It's indeed a black market dealer.
I just don’t know how big the business is?
Is it the kind of friends who are from all over the world, or is it a local snake from the same region, or a second-hand dealer...
As for what I want, I want more.
Want everything delicious.
But now she had more than a thousand dollars in her pocket, but she couldn't get the hand to carry things anymore, so she knocked on the table: "How about leaving an address?"
Leave an address?
Are you planning to do business in this world? Isn’t it more convenient to find people in the local area?
But the middle-aged man remembered that he had been working hard for so many years and grasping the network of relationships, and then looking at the hero who was fighting against human traffickers in front of him, he also had his thoughts.
So he straightened his chest:
"It's flying in the sky and swimming in the sea. We can do whatever we want."
As for the address... I write a fake one, just find a half-aged child to check it out regularly. What are you afraid of?
This girl is obviously not a person in the pool, so she might be able to bring big business.
As he said that, he took out an empty matchbox from his pocket, and opened the matchbox with his fingers, took out a pen, and wrote down the address on it.
This is very pleasing.
...
Chu He nodded and thought again, he could change it if he couldn't buy it!
"I have wild boar, hare, smoked fish, what can you change?"
Meat?
The other party was also quite surprised.
The planned economy is that everyone lacks oil and water. But if you cannot raise pigs in private, it is even more impossible to kill pigs. The meat that flows out on the market is either second-hand transferred by others or a small amount secretly made by a slaughterhouse.
If it doesn't work, it's wild animals in the mountains.
But without any stance, who dares to move the wild boar in the mountains?
If you are lucky, you can eat meat, but if you are bad, you will lose your arms and legs and you will lose your arms and legs.
He looked at Chu He: "Big girl, let me be honest, you don't look very nutritious - do you want milk powder?"
He knocked the bottom through the cloth bag, and the iron can made a muffled sound.
Chu He was worried about his lack of nutrition in his body - she was a woman who wanted to grow up.
So he said nothing, "You want it!"
...
The two of them had a can of meat and hare meat back and forth. Before they could make a name for themselves, several flight attendants came over, and there was a gray-haired old man next to them.
"Xiao Xuan..."
The other party looked at the boy in the middle-aged man's arms, and tears were everywhere:
"It's my grandson, this is my little grandson..."
"Look at his butt, there is a red mole! There is also a mole in his hair whirl!"
What he said was so detailed that even he said it in his hair, so the flight attendant naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
He politely smiled at Chu He and the middle-aged man beside him.
"Comrade, you have done your best and successfully saved three families."
"We have notified each carriage. The old man in the 13th carriage in front of me came to me, so I brought him over to recognize him."
Nowadays, trains often rely on the crew's loudspeaker to yell. One carriage and one carriage, and it will be a while to notify you.
Chu He carried the child over without saying a word: "I've been sleeping for an afternoon, but I look quite stable. The medicine shouldn't have much effect and I'll wake up soon."
After thinking about it, I saw the other party’s hunched back and added another heartless comfort:
"Don't worry, it's okay."
...
The other party took the child, first touched his forehead, and then quickly went to explore his breathing. At this moment, in the curious sight of the people around him, he was about to kneel down.
"You not only saved my grandson, but also saved my old man's life."
The flight attendant also said excitedly: "Comrade, where are you going? You are a hero, and we will send you a commendation. Then the thank you letter will be sent directly!"
Of course, there are no gifts like huge cash in the past, etc., but giving a big red flower, an enamel jar or something is definitely safe.
This is also a sight that everyone envies nowadays.
"And I and me!"
The old man was stopped and did not kneel down, and was not willing to be outdone. He immediately took out a pen and notebook from his pocket, wrote a line of words smoothly, and tore off a page of paper and handed it to Chu He:
"Comrade, this is my unit address. When I settle down, I will definitely not forget your kindness - where are you going?"
Chu He looked down and said: It was a coincidence!
She pointed to the address that she didn't write too clearly: "I'm also here to find my brother, who is in the army."
oh!
Soldiers' family.
Now, her heroic behavior and heroic methods were explained. After soliciting opinions, the flight attendant put away the paper:
"Don't worry, we will send the thank you letter here at that time."
Chu He is very kind: "Not to, not to..."
It’s really not that what is the use of just sending letters?
well.
It's still too poor in this era.
...
Since there are children, the other two families still don’t know what they are anxious about? The flight attendant comforted him briefly and then informed the other cars.
But the middle-aged man also heard that they were going to the army at this moment, so he moved his butt uneasy.
By the way, the people in this army won’t report him, right?
But thinking about it, they took the initiative to change things for him, and both of them had problems and had a handle on each other.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man sighed, seeing that the people in the carriage were already crowded, he saw that Chu He was still standing, so he quickly wanted to make up for him a ticket.
How can there be any extra tickets at this time?
The middle-aged man quickly stood up: "Sit here, sit here, this is the position of this comrade. But she went down to play and asked me to help check my luggage."
As he said that, he pushed Chu He back quickly.
The old man held his peaceful sleeping grandson and discussed with the passenger who had just gotten in the car and had not had time to put his luggage on:
"Comrade, this is our savior. I, the old man, want to talk to her more. If you don't mind, why don't we change the car?"
I stuffed two dollars in my hand.
